Implementation of Virtual Hardware Accessibility Within the Climavision Weather Radar Network

With the Climavision weather radar network deployed in fourteen states, ensuring that each radar is optimally performing is paramount to reduce downtime while retaining maximum data quality. Proper and sophisticated monitoring of the intricate hardware and software of each radar in a centralized and virtual location improves the ability to observe, diagnose, and mitigate any potential issues within the fleet in a timely manner. This presentation will highlight several different aspects of the Climavision fleet of radars and how the inner workings are configured ranging from security, cloud utilization of data storage, redundancy, and dissemination. Highlight the architecture that has been established for network monitoring, allowing for virtual interrogation of parameters in a real-time fashion while also allowing for automated research to operations (R2O) deployments of improved algorithms will also be discussed.
